Long Semester & New Beginnings

Well, its finals time again here in the E.C. area and I got two of my harder tests out of the way right away! So yay! I forgot a lot of other things while worrying about those two tests... but I'm not gonna think about that too much :P

Good news is that I can now share my news, that I never mentioned earlier:
River and I are having a baby boy in May of 2010... PLUS we're going to be getting married in October of 2010. I put up a picture of our son yawning in the womb... He's already making mom sigh with adoration.

Not much happening this holiday season, just River and I hanging around for Christmas and both of us working. I plan on doing not much of anything over winter break, as this semester was very hard... in many ways.

I'm going to go take a nap but I'll hopefully update a little more now that I will have some more free time, at least over the holidays.

Apparently Busy

Well... looks like I've neglected my personal blog again... big suprise :P Nothing really new, just been working a lot the past few months, summer went by fast and I have news that I'm not ready to share with the world just quite yet, but check back in a month or so for an update on that subject.

School starts up again in 2 days, which is unexciting in the fact that it is school plus I won't be able to work as much (aka not bringing in as much moo-lah). I'm ready though and have decided that I might try to graduate this semester, if it's not too late to apply. If I do that though, I'll only have the photography major and not the graphic design one.... so nothing is official or decided at this point, just speculations and thoughts.

My sister was just here today, and we went shopping at the MoA which was fun, but I'm exhausted.

So until next time... which will probably be shorter than the last break.

Finals & Film

Well it is here at last, and at the moment I have a headache from all the work I just completed, turned in, critiqued, viewed, and died over...
Starting to feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, so its nice timing that summer and three months of break is here (FINALLY). Hoping to get a lot of hours at work, and my boss said that I would, so we shall see (I do have my doubts as she's said that to me before and it never happened). Anyone know of a photography/graphic design internship in EC?!

Having my video class final project shown in a viewing on Thursday 5/7 @ 7:30pm in Haas recital hall with all my other classmates work. Come if you can!

Last Saturday, everyone from work got together and had a good BBQ and party! A few girls who've been working with us a long time are graduating and leaving.... *sniffle* but it was a great time and I'm sure they'll want to come back to party with us all again : P

I'm actually also looking forward to summer for a more nerdy (sad) reason.... so I can play World of Warcraft a bit more regularly to get better gear and hang with some guildies! Its nice because we just discovered that we're able to do OS-10 man efficiently with only 2 or 3 wipes on the end boss! YAY!

Well until next time, I'm off to finish my very last project for the semester!

'Ta

Boom Boom Pow!

Time seems to be flying by as I am nearing the end of this spring semester. Suddenly I am realizing how much work I actually have to do within' the next 2.5 weeks! YIKES!

Finally the weather is nice, though our valley could definitely use some moisture, as it is sooooo very dry.

Easter was a nice escape from Eau Claire, as I went home to La Crosse and visited with the family. Helped out at the cabin in Stoddard, cleaning up, fixing stuff, etc... Hannah and I had some fun and seem to be bonding more and more (which I love, and hopefully she does too)!

Finally learned at least a little something in Adobe Flash, though its very basic and I need more time to play with all the buttons and whatnot. I am thinking of getting a How To book for Flash, as there is not a flash class offered for the graphic design major (which is very stupid and puts those of us who know nothing about Flash at a disadvantage).

Below is my very first Flash video, using my name and playing around with Tweens. Enjoy :P






p.s.= My favorite song at the moment is Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas (hence the name of this post)

End of March...

Well I am just finishing up in my night class and thought I would update a bit.

Moving day is tomorrow, which seems crazy and I'm really excited. I'm also very stressed but I have been trying to not worry so much.... not really working though :P We've got the truck tomorrow so all of the big stuff must be moved while we have it, so we've got a deadline to fill. Also, I just found out the my Mother will be coming up to help move and boss us around (lol) and it will be really great to have the extra hands; might even see if I can get lunch out of her :D

I'm worried about Teeg, as I'm not sure how he'll handle the move, but I'm hoping for the best.

I've included some examples of some of my graphic design work I've been doing in my Symbology class. Its always fun expanding my knowledge, but I really enjoy the structure of GD.

Until later... Bye

It Doesn't Feel Like Spring

I thought I would update briefly as I am just sitting in my classroom waiting for class to start.

Nothing really new is going on with me, just getting ready to move into the new apartment in about 2 weeks. I've been packing little by little but I will still have a lot to get done on the actual move day, so I'm hoping everything will go smoothly. River wanted to paint the living room a different color, as it was a banana yellow (eek). He and I went to Menards, he picked out the color and we have been painting when we can for about a week... we're almost done and it looks much better!

Mr. Teeg is getting into what seems his teen-age years, as he is completely and utterly annoying, though every once and awhile will have his sweet moments... I'm hoping he grows out of that :P

Well I'm off to participate in critique and discussion in class, so until next time!
